Bogotá, Family travel
Very cool experience. I stayed near the Gold Museum. There are many restaurants nearby and more museums. At night, it is not very safe to walk in the area and you should be careful with people who approach you to talk.

It was a great experience. There are many places to visit and activities to do. The food is very good, the locals are very friendly and the food is delicious. I recommend going with a certified guide to avoid scams.

Very nice experience. There is a lot to do and see. The locals are friendly and can provide you with information. The food is not expensive and very good. There are activities you can do without guides, and you can rent bicycles, but for this you need a special card.

Bogota is safe, only if you know where to go. It has very beautiful and interesting places to visit, but if you come alone and go out at night alone to dangerous places you could put yourself at risk.

You have to be careful with the homeless people, because sometimes they get angry if you don’t give them coins or something! Try to avoid the downtown at night such as parque berrio or el Hueco! :)))))

I have been living in Pasto for 5 months now and I must say that I feel very safe in this city. Nothing crazy has happened. I don’t go out at night alone, so about this I cannot share any experience.
